Official Statement from the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office

EDITOR’S NOTE: The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office issued the following statement earlier this week.

The Hamilton County community experienced a deep loss with the passing of Mason Alexander on Saturday March 1st, 2025. This crash has been under investigation by the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) since that date. The HCSO is approaching this case, with dignity, respect, and due diligence. The HCSO Crash Team continues to actively conduct interviews and submit records requests, working tirelessly to ensure a thorough and impartial investigation.

As an agency and as a community, we must “trust the process,” a phrase many of us may recall from coaches during our time in organized sports. There are established policies and procedures that guide investigations and adherence to them are essential. Any deviation could compromise the integrity of the case, risk overlooking critical evidence, and ultimately, would not be fair to the Alexander family or anyone else involved. It is not uncommon that these types of investigations take months to complete.

On April 17th, 2025, members of the HCSO Crash Team met with members of the Hamilton County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office to discuss the investigation and criminal charges. HCSO has also met with various family members and continues to reach out for ongoing communication with the family.

Due to the fact that the other driver involved is a juvenile, their identity has not been released by the HCSO, pursuant to Indiana law. This is the standard procedure for investigations of this nature and is in accordance with legal protections afforded to minors under the Indiana Code (IC 31-39-3-2).

We thank the community for their patience and support as we continue our work in pursuit of truth and justice.
